We saw Narnia this afternoon as a family.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is my all time favourite book from childhood so I have been looking forward to seeing this film for a little while. I must admit, I was expecting to be disappointed at the Disney portrayal of a classic, but I needn’t have been.

Ok, the special effects could have been better (as Jonathan Ross said), but the accuracy of the film to the book was pretty good and the parts were played well. This was a great film, with Joe shouting ‘that was wicked!’ at the end of the performance – much to the amusement of those around us.

On our way home we always talk about favourite parts and characters. Lucy, Peter, Aslan were answers in the back of the car. My favourite character – Jadis, played fantastically by Tilda Swinton. She portrayed evil excellently, flowing sublimely from coercive deception, through manipulation, towards heartless cruelty.

A great film – go see!
